    That’s not the way the math works, regardless of how you “see it”.

      That is exactly the way the math works for anything resembling the concept of insurance.

      All of those programs are a form of insurance.

      You just don’t understand insurance.

        No. Social security is not funded the same way that insurance is. We’re talking about the funding here, so the comparison does not work.
